Cimarron, I think, if anything, some of us would like some kind of action taken. This is just one of a long line of things that have come to the surface regarding alleged wrongdoings coming out of the GWOT. What's it going to take? Lawrence Wilkerson is just one player. Do you not want to see whether his allegations flesh out? I don't accept what he says as fact at the moment. What I do accept is the idea that it should be investigated.

Do you know the meaning of the word
inevitable? Assuming that you do, are you aware that this isn't a blueprint to all manifestations of power and its practice? (Read: you're wrong on this.)

The only solution is to not give them the power in the first place. Or we could go your route and believe that we are just one more oversight committee away from utopia.

Hmm, so the only solution to your idea of power is anarchy. No, thank you. And "my route" by no means strives for a utopia. I hope it keeps rooted in reality. Still, a utopia is definitely more desirable over your anarchy.

You can have your thread back. No doubt, it will somehow get tied to a failed 18th century uprising of a French farmer, or some shit. Of course, that will be relevant to the thread, rather than discussing how principles in belief systems fashion the government which fails them.

You've done neither here. Unless I missed something...?
